While rumors swirled in recent weeks that chief technology officer Colin Bodell was heading to the exit, he tells Media Ink he’s not going anywhere.

The former Amazon executive was a high-profile hire of Time CEO Joe Ripp. Bodell joined the company in January 2014, only months before it was spun off from Time Warner.

Bodell stirred resentment early in his tenure as hundreds of jobs were outsourced to Bangalore, India and elsewhere, while he geared up a new product and engineering operation in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park.

Bodell also may have “over promised” about what he could reasonably accomplish in a short period time as the print publishing giant tried to push aggressively into digital, one insider said.

Whatever the hurdles, Bodell for the moment appears to have cleared them. After ducking our initial calls two weeks ago, he says, “I am gainfully employed by Time Inc. and looking forward to a long and fruitful career with them.”
